Not sure why is it Gthumb but I can confirm this on Nautilus, Here is the scenario:
When I open a folder with images (around 60, large i.e. wallpaper sizes), and change the zoom level to 200%. It resizes the thumbnail image, so obviously it becomes blurry. Note this process is completed quickly. Then it seems to create a new thumbnail from the original image with the larger thumbnail dimensions, providing sharper and aesthetically pleasing thumbnails. This process is slow but understandable. But if I close Nautilus and open the same folder, it remembers the zoom level. But it's using the smaller thumbnails, than the larger sharper ones it created earlier. Then it goes around re-creating the larger thumbnails. Slows the systems down in the process. Because of this it deters you from setting the zoom level up, it isn't caching/saving thumbnails at a higher zoom. It also does this if you back and forth to the folder. I tried this on Gutsy, it doesn't have a problem as it never tries to get a better thumbnail when you increase the zoom level. When you are testing make sure the images are of wallpaper sizes then you can really see Nautilus upgrading the original thumbnail. -- Thumbnails for high-resolution images are generated each time folders are opened. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203666 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
